i think he made obama's case better than obama made his case. i disagree with about half of what egtsd, but i always did. i always regarded clinton -- let's hear this. >> i don't know if it is sound full. >> it may be good. what is good politics does not -- >> see, here is the only place i really disagree with clinton. clinton talked about working together, about i forget, not as much partisanship, and he said let's work together. that is the one thing that bill clinton did with republicans and accomplished a lot, and we had excellent growth during the clinton years. okay? it is in my opinion the one thing he has not done. he doesn't get along with congressional leaders. he doesn't get along with his own party much less republicans and i thought that was the key difference and a very weak spot. maybe clinton is saying to obama you ought to take my cue and work with these guys because we have big problems. that surely, mr. obama has not demonstrated any cooperation in this game. >> that is raising a lot of eyebrows. if clinton is your alpha surro

the other one is the move from obama's speech from the bank of america stadium. large football field, 65,000 seats into this arena where i'm standing right now where less than half that many people can be accommodated. democrats got soaked last night walking a couple blocks from their hotels to this arena. they didn't want to take the chance of having their event over shadowed, wrecked by a rain storm, thunderstorm perhaps. the rahm emanuel news is interesting because democrats have been having trouble raising super pac funds to compete with the republican super pacs so rahm emanuel left his role as a chairman of the obama campaign mostly ceremonial to do some of the hard work of raising money. rahm emanuel has been very good at that for a long time. he was a top fundraiser for bill clinton in 1992. as for what happened last night of course we had michelle obama making the case for her husband and by all accounts republicans and democrats she had a very effective speech. part of it was rebutting mitt romney without even mentioning his name, that is because she to

or by candidate obama. and look at the lackluster performance, look at the broken promises. this is not an economic recovery. we are limping along. this is stagnant growth. for every person who got a job, nearly four people stopped looking for a job. that's not a statistic to brag about. look at factories. 15,000 factory jobs lost. 7,500 of those jobs lost from automakers alone. so, carl, what mitt and i are proposing are pro-growth economic policies, an energy policy, tax reform, regulatory reform, clean up the spending problem in washington to prevent a debt crisis. those are the kinds of things that we're proposing, expand markets for our trade. these are the things we need to get growth back in this economy. we have a very serious plan for pro-growth solutions that we think we can get people back to work and really work on this number. >> let me ask you about what the markets are telling you. you like free markets. no one would disagree with what you're saying about this job market in this country. but

i remember the first couple of months of the president obama's administration. i ran to the bit, too many things happening too fast. first t.a.r.p., auto industry, stimulus, home modification and the deficits are going up, up, up. so i blew a valve on it. what would it be like to have this president with a lame duck scenario where he has no governor, where he can do without the notion that he has to get re-elected again. do you see this as a big market issue, in terms of dividend taxes, obama care, taxes and higher fees there? >> i most certainly do. i think he's going to try to push his agenda. some people want to look back too the clinton years when he lost big time in the midterms just as obama did. >> november '93. >> clinton gave ground. obama has given no ground. i don't know there's any indication he'll give any ground this time. that's a big mistake if that's the case. i hope not. but it appears that's a real possibility. >> how times have changed. i thought mitt romney had a bit of a -- he could do a bit of a "saturday night live" skit, he had some good

president obama is kind of a mix. sometimes he's late for us, other times he'll show up early, unexpected. today, he happens to be late. we were expecting a 10:15 start time for this address on the economy. >> okay, that gives us time to quickly briefly touch on where we are with the markets. the main theme coming out of markets over tonight is this bearishness on commodities and on oil in particular. a bearish view of what bernanke was saying. that's how they interpret it in asia. let's get over to chicago and get more on the markets. the founder of traderoutlook.com. and the cme. good morning. as soon as i saw it, i was like no. >> let's have a call of this. we'll just go over my name. talk to me about oil. these are big losses today. >> yeah, you know, oil's weakness is interesting to me because it's not so much about the commodity's story as it is about the effect it can have in the overall markets and the overall economy. you remember we had a mild winter and that seemed to play into a little bit better consumer

president obama wasn't interested in a deal because he didn't have much leverage. that meant any deal would favor the republicans and alienate his core constituencies. you fast forward to now, look, all negotiations go through ups and downs, but the bottom line is that both sides need a deal. if the republicans push us off the fiscal cliff, they will be blamed for the subsequent recession and they'll pay the price in 2014. president obama also needs a deal because history doesn't remember who the speaker of the house was during a period of weak economic growth. the president gets the credit or the blame. he's going to be written about for 300 years and he does not want to preside over eight years of the weakest growth in u.s. history. so, he needs a deal so that the next four years are better than the last four years. >> we'll see. obviously, still the opening days of this process. charlie, the fed chairman in new york yesterday referring to these talks, reiterating how important it is they get done. he coined the term, fiscal cliff, "the washington post" today say
